YOUR church does.
It teaches that baptism removes sin and saves the individual. So the infant that is baptized at 1 month old, is considered saved even though that infant has no capacity to understand the gospel and exercise saving faith.
No faith is required on the part of that baby so the Catholic church ends up teaching that salvation can be forced on someone who doesn't even know what's going on and without their consent.

Not to defend Papist nonsense, so don’t lump me in with them, but I would argue that I child CAN exercise saving faith, even at the youngest age.
After all, faith is nothing more than receiving the gift that the Lord provides. And even newborns seem to understand the concept of receiving something. There’s a reason that Jesus refers to salvation as being becoming like little children, and I would argue that it’s because little children live only through what is given to them.
That plus the fact that faith is a gift from the Lord, not a work that we ourselves do. I believe that means that faith can be given even to infants who may not cognitively understand it, but still experience it.
